ESCAPE SERIES

Banner for the Escape Series by thriller novelist, Douglas Misquita

The Escape Series comprise two books: LION – Escape from Russia and LION – Most Wanted, Escape from Russia won Douglas his first Literary Titan Gold. Most Wanted matched that award. These books mark a shift towards a non-NATO protagonist and are pseudo-political thrillers.


Aslan ‘The Lion’ Terzi has one thing on his mind when he is freed from Syria’s notorious Tadmor prison. Get out of the country. Simple. Nothing in there about launching an aerial assault on a maximum-security Russian island prison.

Lion by Douglas Misquita is one of those books where disappointment is not an option.

RED HEADED BOOK LOVER

The Syrian War is in its sixth year, confounded by rebel factions, terror outfits, fundamentalists, unscrupulous businesses… and a proxy war between the United States and Russia.

In an incredible aerial snatch-and-grab, 30000 feet over the Aegean Sea, a Russian special-ops team captures rebel financier Leonid Rashnikov.

The incident threatens a two-billion-dollar security contract between security consultant Goldline Solutions and Emirati Sheikh Ahmed bin Rashid. Why should I trust you with my security if you could not keep Leonid Rashnikov safe?

With the clock ticking, Goldline Solutions is ready to put everything on the line to restore the Sheikh’s confidence.

Aslan ‘The Lion’ Terzi, a political prisoner incarcerated at the notorious Tadmor Prison, is near suicide when jihadists inexplicably give him a new lease on life. Disillusioned by the depravity of the War, The Lion wants only to get out of Syria. But a chance encounter at the border sets him on one last mission: rescue a woman he loves from a rebel warlord.

In doing so, The Lion inadvertently gains a critical piece of the puzzle faced by Goldline Solutions.

Five strangers. Working on assumptions. No elaborate plan. No inside help. They will attempt the most audacious super-max prison breakout ever attempted on Russian soil.

And there will be a heavy price to pay.


A double-crossed mercenary. A vengeful Russian agent. A revenant criminal. A Syrian rebel leader. A big game hunt is on!

LION: Most Wanted is a slick and explosive action-thriller that is wildly entertaining and fun to read.

LITERARY TITAN

Mind blown with the capacity Douglas has to create a world which he owns like a powerhouse.

THE WRITING BUDDHA

An excellent narrative with an unputdownable story, Lion, Most Wanted has the potential to be converted into a spy movie.

KITABI KEEDA

When fate dealt him an incredible opportunity, Aslan ‘The Lion’ Terzi should’ve stuck to his plan. He should’ve vanished into obscurity. Instead, he broke a High Value Target out of a Russian supermax prison. Now he’s the Most Wanted Man in the Middle East.

For Russian FSB agent Igor Sokolov, it’s national pride. For Syrian intelligence agent Al Siyad — The Hunter — it’s big game. And to mercenary Samuel Goldsmith, Aslan is a peace offering to the Russians for his complicity in the prison break.

Thing is, Aslan didn’t earn his nickname for nothing. He isn’t out of luck yet… and he hasn’t lost sight of his original plan.
